Consumer Description

THIS CAR HAS A WHINNING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN THAT GETS LOUDER THE MORE DRIVE IT. I HAVE CONTACTED THE BUICK CARE DEPT AND THEY INDICATED IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. THEY HAD ME TAKE MY CAR TO THE BUICK PLACE WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY COME UP WITH ABOUT 1900.00 TO FIX THIS AND SAY THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE BUICK STEERING THAT SOME HOUSING IS TOO CLOSE TO THE STEERING COLUMN AND IT CREATES THE NOISE AND STEERING PROBLEMS AND THAT BUICK AND EVERYONE ELSE IS AWARE OF IT AND THAT THEY SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL BUT DO NOT. IN ADDITION I HAVE ENGINE STALLING PROBLEMS WHERE THERE IS LACK OF POWER UPON SUDDEN ACCELERATION. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY. *TR
